Guest Reviews
- Sharon (5/5): Cosy and be jut - The location was ideal for why we were in London, and parking behind a closed gate was also a good choice, however we weren't told there would be an extra cost for this.
The gentleman on the desk was very pleasant. The room was very small and pooky and the bathroom even smaller, we were in the attic and as a "feature" in the room there was a hatch into the loft space.
The location was great for where we needed to be and it was only 1 night
- Eavan (10/5): Ideal stay - Perfect stay. I stayed for three nights while my home was getting renovated. It was so homely. Very comfortable and spotless and the staff were all so kind. Great value for money and would recommend. Nothing
- Danijela (10/5): - I had a fantastic experience. The location was perfect, with easy access to public transport, restaurants, and the city’s main attractions. The room was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained.
What made the stay truly special was the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were extremely helpful, polite, and always ready to assist with recommendations and support. I also appreciated the quiet environment and cozy feeling, which made me feel at home right away.
I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting London. Excellent value, great service, and a wonderful overall experience!
- Andreas (9/5): für einen London Trip - gern immer wieder - gute Anbindung an Bus und U - Bahn,

- Gail (7/5): Lovely lodge, room was spotlessly clean. Bathroom a little cramped but served its purpose. Shame no breakfast/food o - Beautiful building. Room was spotless and staff were very friendly and welcoming Shame that breakfast of any sort was not available. Bottles of water in room would have been good. Tea/coffee facilities downstairs via coffee pods charged extra

- deborah (7/5): -
- Nikolaos (10/5): - Το Balham Lodge βρίσκεται σε ένα πολύ γραφικό προάστιο του Λονδίνου, 15 λεπτά με τα πόδια από τον σιδηροδρομικό σταθμό και την στάση του μετρό Balham. Το δωμάτιο πολύ καλό, οικονομικό και βολικό. Καθαριότητα στο δωμάτιο γίνονταν καθημερινά. Το συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα.
- Leah (9/5): Great for short stays in South London - Simple, straightforward accommodation. Friendly and helpful staff. Direct access to Tooting Commons. Great option for a short stay. The bathroom/shower is a tight squeeze unless you're very short. Access in/out could be a bit more seamless.
- Lowell (9/5): -
- Thompson (10/5): - No No
- Valdez (10/5): - Bilal was excellent, very helpful and made us very comfortable in this beautiful residence Unexpected payment for use if the car park on a Saturday evening/Sunday morning when adjacent street parking was free.
- William (9/5): Excellent staff, superb location with good connectivity, and great value! -
- Guest (8/5): -
- Tasha (10/5): Wedding stay - We stayed at Balham Lodge the night before a wedding. We booked three rooms as part of the bridal party. The stay was amazing and the team went out of their way to accommodate us and make the stay amazing including a late check out for all the rooms. This meant we were able to get the bride ready and ourselves in comfort. I would highly recommend staying here. Nothing it was great.

- Janica (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft etwas außerhalb des Stadtzentrums - Sehr freundliches Personal, gemütliche und saubere Zimmer. Es gibt einen Wasserkocher für Tee und Kaffee und auch zwei Aufenthaltsräume.
In Balham selber gibt es ausreichend Cafés, Restaurants und Supermärkte, direkt vor der Tür befindet sich eine Bushaltestelle, die einen zur tube und overground bringt. Bin in die Innenstadt von London und zu den gängigen Sehenswürdigkeiten ist man recht lange unterwegs, 45 Minuten oder mehr. Dies sollte man einfach wissen für die Buchung.
- Kevin (8/5): -
- RalfGer (10/5): - Nettes kleines Haus in Balham. Etwas weit weg von der Tube, aber es gibt eine Busverbindungen.
Sehr sauber. Sehr freundliches Personal. Man muss mit dem Bus zur Tube fahren, wenn man nicht laufen will
- gwyndaf (8/5): - Great location and value for money Radiator wasn't working so room was cold
- Catherine (10/5): -
- Svetlana (10/5): -
- Susan (8/5): A comfortable, characterful guest house on the lovely Heaver estate. - A lovely characterful building. The room was clean and comfortable. The furnishings were fine. A kettle in the room was useful and we could have helped ourselves to tea and coffee downstairs if we'd had time. Parking is available for free at the weekends in the surrounding streets and limited on site for £12 a day. we had a twin room on the top floor as we booked last minute. We would have preferred a double.
- Mary (10/5): - Fab all round comfy and convenient Noisy neighbours banging about
- Sibu (8/5): -
- Rosemary (5/5): I will stay again as apart from this time I usually have a good experience - I’ve stayed here lots of times it’s very clean and the staff are helpful and pleasant Usually I’m ok …but this time wasn’t good,
I was cold at night,
I had to keep getting reception to sort the tv out - think the sky box had a loose connection ,
the mattress was hard,
there was no side table to put a glass of water on …
and the light switch was hard to find in the dark.
I won’t be wanting to stay in room 14 next time
- Julia (10/5): - Friendly , professional & reasonable cost.
- Nicola (8/5): Comfortable, friendly, a lovey place to stay, a beautiful sanctuary in a hectic city - Beautiful period property, sympathetically decorated, communal spaces and a lovely aspect. Situated on a quiet road considering you are in London but only a 5 minute walk to lovely places to eat and drink. The bed was very comfortable and we had a very restful nights sleep, would definitely stay here again Reception wasn’t maned as late as you would think for a busy city
- JUAN LUIS (8/5): -
- Karena (8/5): - Das Zimmer war perfekt für unseren Kurztrip nach London. Von der nächsten U-Bahn Station 10 Minuten entfernt. Mit dem Bus (Haltestelle nur wenige Meter entfernt) nur wenige Minuten entfernt.
Wir kommen bestimmt wieder! Da gibt’s nichts das uns nicht gefallen hat!
- Virginia (8/5): Muy buena. Repetitia - Estaba muy limpio y la habitación era grande. Zona tranquila y con buena comunicación de autobuses y metro Aunque estaba limpio las ventanas estaban un poco viejas
- Lorraine (8/5): -
- Charles (9/5): -
- Natalia Sobiecka (9/5): - The room was cleaned every day without special request – it was something I absolutely didn't expect, but made my stay just cosy.
- Robin (10/5): Excellent stay - This friendly guesthouse-type hotel was perfect for my needs as a lone visitor who needed somewhere clean, comfortable and relaxing to stay (and recover) during a week of dance classes. Having outlined the reasons for my stay in advance I was assigned a groundfloor single room with a one-and-a-half size bed which I found very comfortable (the mattress was just fine for me, though this particular one might have been rather firm for some - I would checking on this in advance). I needn't have worried about room size, and the somewhat smaller single room I was shown next door would also have been perfectly acceptable. I appreciated the convenience of the nearby kitchen, which I used for simple tasks. Altogether, I found Balham Lodge a friendly and very pleasant place to stay - so much so that I was genuinely sorry to leave and would certainly be happy to return.

- Lucius (8/5): - I've stayed here a couple of times now when travelling for work. The rooms are serene and nicely decorated, without frills but with all the basic comforts you'd need. Friendly, helpful staff and calm atmosphere. The location is also great, on a quiet residential street and well-located for where I've needed to go. The only minor thing I'd point out is that the rooms are poorly insulated, so you can practically hear guests breathing in the other rooms.
- Kathryn (10/5): Had a comfortable relaxing stay and will return - Clean and airy rooms with kettle and teabags.
- Catherine (10/5): This is my third time staying and look forward to going there every time - Location cleanliness helpful staff Nothing

- Thomas (10/5): Great value - Friendly, attentive staff.
Bathroom in room. Good shower Couldn't stay longer
- Nick (10/5): -
- Laila (3/5): - The location was the worst part. It’s 16 minutes walk from the nearest underground! The room didn’t have a decent mirror. The blinds were not good.
It was clean and the stuff were okey.
But I’ve had so much trouble because of how bad the location is.
It’s not a good value for the money.
- Andreas (9/5): - Sehr sauber, schön gestaltetes und verhältnismäßig ruhiges Zimmer, Kaffee/Tee auf dem Zimmer, Nähe zum Park, sehr fairer Preis Badezimmer ohne Ablage sowie Haken an der Wand
- Martin (10/5): - Everything is nice and clean, close the the London. Underground, very calm location, the rooms are equipped with everything neccessary, we can only recommend this place!
